A few weeks after Max and Al tried to kill Ole Anderson, everything seemed to settle down. Nick and George went back to working the diner like they usually would and Ole Anderson seemed to be living his life just as he had before… or at least that’s what it seemed like.
Ole Anderson felt like he was unsafe since Max and Al knew where he lived so he decided to move. He bought an old cabin type house right outside of town. It was placed back a long gravel driveway with woods surrounding the house. He had about a 200 yard radius around his house of grass before it turned into woods.
One afternoon Ole Anderson was sitting in his living room watching the newest Duck Dynasty when he heard a gun shot. “ Man, that’s the third time I’ve heard a gun go off this week. And it isn’t even hunting season!” he said, talking to himself. He started getting jumpy and anxious, but tried to play it off like nothing was wrong even if the only other thing living in his house was fluffy white cat, Leo. The next day he called up his nephew, Colton, to come stay with him for a few weeks. After the nightmare he had last night, he didn’t feel safe living there by himself.
Colton came that following Monday. Colton can use any and everything as a weapon if it was completely necessary. This is the exact reason Ole Anderson called him. Once Colton got settled in Ole Anderson told him why he was there. Colton was glad that his uncle had called him. That night Colton heard rustling in the bushes outside his bedroom window and went to check it out, but nothing was there. In the morning Ole Anderson woke up to Colton rigging the place with traps.
“What the heck are you doing, boy?” Ole Anderson asked, rubbing his eyes.
“ Last night some crazy things happened outside and I’m pretty sure those guys that tried to kill you before have found us.” Colton explained as he was placing the 50-pound weight in its position above the door.
Trying to act as calm as possible Ole Anderson stumbled to the garage where he retrieved a shovel.
“Here,” he said, handing the shovel to Colton, “ go out and dig a deep hole in front of my bedroom window and cover it the best you can to make it look unnoticeable.”
Doing as his uncle had asked Colton dug the hole and made it look the same as it was before. Ole Anderson was on edge all day. The next day he got a letter letting him know that they were coming and this time he had no chance of getting away. He was scared but knew that if he got the cops involved they would find out what he did in Chicago and he would be dead one way or the other. That night when Colton went to sleep Ole Anderson gathered his things and remembered that Colton had rigged the front door and knew it wouldn’t be a good idea to go out that way. He decided to go out his window so he didn’t wake Colton up. He has forgotten that he told his nephew to dig a hole as deep as he could outside his window in case they tried to come in that way. Ole Anderson fell into the hole meant for his murders and broke both legs. Even though he tried screaming and yelling for help nothing worked so he decided to go to sleep until morning. Then he knew that Colton would find him and get him out.
“Uncle, uncle where are you?” Colton yelled right before he found the note. “Ohh… he left, well I guess I should go too.”
Colton gathers his things, takes down all the booby traps, and goes home.
